Is it only this thick on their Dama version? I’d love a thick spined Sakai blue #1

Does that thicken up from spine down to where the grind starts?

This came in earlier today, and brutally executed a carrot. Alas!
Thank you Jonas!

I’ve been pretty busy lately. Buying, selling, trading. The KKF holy trinity of making your wallet sad basically.


With that being said I did end up with some beauties.

1. Heldqvist WH

2. Kono Fujiyama Chucka

3. Bazes 240

This was was very special as I’ve been looking for one for quite some time. I’m sure some of you have seen me sniffing around KKF at the mere hint of a Bazes.

 

[Repjapsteel]

That Bazes

That is killer. Love that handle.

 

[Naftoor]

Lord forgive me for I have sinned, and purchase a knife under 1g/mm. I trust the performance will alleviate the guilt of the crime.

On the bright side Bidinger was great to purchase from, and the forced patina he stuck on the A2 really pops.

Handle is a bit too well polished for my taste (I am clumsy and like some grip), and it’s a very mazaki profile, but I think those are more quirks to love.
